As the name suggests, beginning on September 2, Sigma will “change out the current mount for a mount of your choice, as long as Sigma makes that particular lens for the mount requested.” As Nikitas writes: “When you consider how much photographers invest in lenses, Sigma’s pricing seems reasonable enough.

A new DNG Converter release candidate is also available.” A full list of features and enhancements, as well as download links, is available on labs.adobe.com.Read more.
